12 yr old car ? They are toast. When we went PSS9 last year my 98 struts at 90k miles were worn out, my brothers 99 with 80k miles were really bad. I don't know how he was able to drive his car.

Yeah...I am loosing confidence in my front end ...stability something is off.

It is likely new struts will settle everything and give adequate roll control.

Suspension design theory seems to suggest that roll control is accomplished with specific anti roll devices to keep the bump and droop soft but I am learning that struts seem to do most of everything on this car with bars as fine adjustments

How are guys finding the PSS9s on the street? Happy on the track?

What damper settings are you using on the street and track?
